Wu Gen sat on the boat with his fists clenched. The nails dug deeply into the palms, and blood dripped from time to time.
While in the well of death, in order to frighten the spirits of the dead, Wu Gen released the death energy in his body. Although I knew that this might bring unpredictable consequences, under the circumstances, if I wanted to tame these unruly undead, I couldn't care less.
It is impossible to fight. If he fights purely with his own cultivation, Wu Gen estimates that he will not be able to get out of the well of death today. They can only bluff, hoping that the suppression of death will make the other party surrender and pull them into their own camp.
Even though he was careful, Wu Gen was already at the limit of what he could bear. If he had waited for another cup of tea to let more death energy flow out, I'm afraid there would be no more Wu Gen in the world.
Fortunately, Uncle Qiu and others succumbed first and were able to allow Wu Gen to withdraw his death energy and hibernate in his body again. But even so, it still caused a lot of damage to Wu Gen. His vitality suddenly disappeared a lot, and his body was so weak that an ordinary person could knock him over.
Enduring the pain in his body, Wu Gen opened his left hand with difficulty, and a round black ring appeared in the palm of his hand. Like a snake in a circle, its head biting its own tail. It is also like the outline of an eye, looking at the world indifferently.
Wu Gen didn't know what this weird pattern meant, what consequences it would bring, and he didn't know how much death energy was hidden in his body. He could only wait and see, hoping that it could be eliminated bit by bit through thunder tribulation in the future.
Du Ren rowed the oars and observed Wu Gen's expression. "Anyway, those killers have finally recognized you, and it will be easier to summon you in the future."
Wu Gen smiled miserably, knowing that the other party had already seen the truth about his strong-willed nature. If Du Ren hadn't helped him calmly in the well, he would have collapsed on the boat on the spot.
Seeing that the matter was successful, Du Ren quickly moved the boat and left the dead well, without giving his four men a chance to explore the truth.
"Thank you very much this time. I'm ill so I won't be too polite." Wu Gen coughed twice and tried to raise his hand but dropped it.
"Helping you means helping me, but I think you can't control the death energy. If you can't find a way, I'm afraid it will become a big hidden danger in the future. Life and death are one, and once the death energy is not suppressed, it will continue to deprive you of your power. Vitality is also an obstacle on the road to spiritual practice." Du Ren kindly reminded.
Wu Gen sighed, "There is no good strategy at the moment. I can only take one step at a time. By the way, Senior Du, have you ever seen a black ship on the sea? This ship is very important to me."
Du Ren pondered for a moment, but did not hide anything, "This ship suddenly came here years ago to capture ghost ships on the sea to benefit itself. I have an agreement with it. As long as it does not go too far, I will let it stay here."
"Do you know its specific origin? Is there anyone on board?" Wu Gen asked hurriedly after hearing this.
Du Ren glanced at Wu Gen a little strangely, and considered his tone, "The other party didn't disclose the specific origin, but he told me not to embarrass you, otherwise I will crash into the death well. As for who is on the boat, why not Ask who this boat belongs to.”
"What do you mean?" Wu Gen was very surprised.
"It literally means that this boat has sanity. You can understand that it is a person, a person with a boat-shaped body." Du Ren said, and the truth he said was difficult for Wu Gen to accept.
Although I had come into contact with alien creatures such as Qi Yu in the Great Relic Continent, I still felt a little uncomfortable when I suddenly heard such a statement.
Meeting in the desert and meeting again in the rising sea, Wu Gen always felt that he had an inexplicable connection with this ship. This time he suddenly asked himself to go to Zhuoguang Mountain, which strengthened Wu Gen's idea.
Wu Gen wanted to see the people on the ship, the people who were always close to him, rather than a cold ship.
"Senior Du, where can I find it? This matter is very important to me. Please help me." Wu Gen asked anxiously.
"It has gone and left the sea of blood. I advise you not to look for it. Once such a powerful creature wants to avoid you, how can it be found?" Du Ren couldn't help but look at Wu Gen's depressed expression. He sighed: "Maybe it has its difficulties. If we are destined, I believe that sooner or later there will be a chance to meet again."
Wu Gen was dejected when he heard this, and after a while he said: "Senior, do you still know the secret of this ship? Please tell me."
Du Ren put down the oar in his hand and shook his head, "I know very little about this ship. I just heard that it is a kind of warship of the Dark Tribe, called the Dingling Ship. It can freely travel between the Dark Tribe and the Human Tribe." , but it is definitely not something that ordinary people can possess, and it is extremely rare even among the Dark Tribe.
Since it is rare, maybe it is not that difficult for you to find its origin, but what about after you find it? Even an existence like it doesn't dare to stay with you for a long time. Therefore, before you are unable to hold an umbrella, it is better to go your own way, which is a kind of protection for you and it. "
Looking at the stars in the water, Wu Gen was silent for a long time, and finally agreed with Du Ren's statement. Sometimes, seeing each other is like arguing with each other but not seeing each other.
There is a long road ahead, but it is better to keep your thoughts in mind.
He reached out and picked up a handful of water from the sea. There were stars shining in it. He looked up at the sky and Wu Gen sprinkled the water into the sea again. An almost imperceptible ripple quietly sends the thoughts in my heart far away.
"Senior has practiced Soul Song, otherwise he wouldn't have set up such a scene in the sea." Wu Gen suddenly changed the topic, as if to get rid of the heaviness just now.
"As a dead person, soul music is the real way to keep our souls alive. The reason why we go to such great lengths to set up such a large formation is just to allow these undead souls wandering in the sea to maintain a little aura. He will not turn into an evil ghost who only knows how to kill." Du Ren stretched out his hand towards the sea, and suddenly thousands of lights appeared in the sea, competing with the stars in the sky.
"It's just that I was a warrior in the army during my lifetime, and I was not good at soul arts. Being able to deduce it to this level is the ultimate. But you are different. Your skills in soul arts are far better than mine. These undead souls, Please, if you can avoid fighting, it’s better not to take action.”
Wu Gen looked at the scary-looking face in front of him and was silent for a long time before saying: "I will try my best, but some of the corpses and undead in the dead well have already become sane and are no longer alive. Unless they are willing, it is almost impossible to Transcendence.
Just like the seniors who want to be saved, it is only possible if they give up all cultivation, obsession and this body. But think about it, how many of those in the well of death are willing to do it, and how can they be willing to do it after finally reaching this level? Compassion without mercy, a woman's benevolence will only harm others and herself. "
Du Ren sighed, looked at the sparkling water, and finally took off the lantern on the bow. Once the lantern is taken down, it turns into a white ring. "Holding this object can command the undead in the sea of blood. I hope you can make good use of it."
Wu Gen reached out to take it and nodded slightly to Du Ren, "Senior, please don't worry. Although Wu Gen is not a good person, he is not a murderer either. He will definitely use this thing properly."
"Please." Du Ren stood up and returned the greeting solemnly.
When he returned to his ship, there was still silence everywhere, and nothing had changed, as if Wu Gen had not left.
Du Ren stood on the boat and slowly submerged into the water. As he disappeared, the paper lanterns scattered on the sea also disappeared.
The sound of the waves sounded again, the oil lamp hanging on the boat jumped a few times, and the sounds of snoring and talking in sleep came and went.
Wu Gen walked back to his cabin, Zhuo Ke was still sleeping soundly, and Xiao Ba stood at the head of the bed, looking at Wu Gen strangely.
After looking at it for a moment, Xiaoba quickly climbed onto Wu Gen, went around behind him to find a comfortable position, hung on it and fell asleep.
Wu Gen smiled, helped Zhuo Ke tuck the quilt, and put Xiao Ba on top of him. Hearing the sound of tide outside the cabin, he was not even half sleepy. He sat at the table and looked at the oil lamp in a daze.
A lot of things happened in the past two days. First, they met the soul-fixing ship, but they only got a message and then separated again.
Then he entered the sea of consciousness and got closer to the sea of Yuanxiang. The reason why I risked my soul to go into such a deep place at that time was that I was aware of the evil consciousness in my soul and wanted to take the opportunity to eliminate it. The feeling of being watched all the time was really not good.
However, Wu Gen vaguely felt that this time it was not completely successful, and he didn't know where the remaining consciousness of the evil god was hidden.
In the end, Du Ren's permission was obtained, and he would have an undead force that could be borrowed from the rising sea in the future, but the price was also very high. Due to the release of a lot of death energy, the death energy actually appeared outside the body.
Looking at the ring in the palm of his hand, Wu Gen couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "I really think this place is an inn. You come here one after another without asking. Sooner or later, I will drive you all away and you will have to pay for the rent." I got my capital back with interest.”
It wasn't until early in the morning that Wu Gen finally fell asleep.
Early the next morning, the boat set off early. The sea was sunny and windy, which was perfect weather for sailing.
Ran Peng set up an awning with his hands and looked towards the sea in the distance. When he saw Wu Gen coming out with dark circles under his eyes, he was slightly startled, "Oh, it looks like we finally passed the sea of blood safely. You might as well rest more. Keep going. , there are routes opened by shepherds, as long as you follow the routes, it will be relatively safe because there are shepherds watching over you along the way."
Wu Gen rubbed his eyes and yawned widely, "How many such routes are there in total? In addition to these routes, are there other more hidden routes?"
"What on earth do you want to do? Do you want to open a new route out?" Ran Peng shook his head disdainfully, "You have also watched this along the way. If no one clears it out in time, how many risks will there be. Kuntianzhou Property It was so barren that the shepherds put a lot of effort into maintaining private trade between the two continents.
As far as I know, there are nine such routes from Tianyuan Continent to Kuntian Continent, but we only have this one in front of us. Not only are there supply points along the way, but you can get food and water as long as you pay.
Moreover, any ship that goes to Kuntianzhou via the shipping route is not allowed to be robbed by other herdsmen, and the ships are not allowed to fight each other. All in all, the goal is to allow more ships and more goods to arrive at Kuntian Continent.
If you want to choose another route on your own, there are various dangers along the way, even if you are robbed and killed by a herdsman, no one will care about you. Therefore, most smugglers like me, who have gone through all kinds of difficulties and dangers to get here, will still choose the route designated by the shepherds, and there is no need to risk death. "
Wu Gen finally understood that this herdsman had put in a lot of effort to maintain trade, but whoever controlled the route would also control huge profits, which was definitely beyond the control of ordinary forces.
"Then which force does this route we are taking belong to?" When Wu Gen talked with Ji Ye in Dayi Continent, he already learned that Kuntian Continent does not have a country in the strict sense, but is composed of individual actors. Provincial composition.
Above the province, there is also a place called Chengtian Palace. As the nominal leader of the alliance, it coordinates all parties and resolves conflicts to avoid excessive fighting among the herdsmen.
Each province is controlled by a family, and there are many smaller families attached to it, ruling a huge territory.
Not only between provinces, but also within the same province, there will also be some conflicts between small families. Small families are often wiped out, and new ones rise to take their place.
However, according to Ji Ye, in order to reduce internal friction, some large provincial families have deprived the rights of the small families below them in order to maintain stability in their governance, and established a system of counties and counties based on the human race, which is like the prototype of a country. However, these measures aroused the opposition of most people, so that the whole family of the province's big family was killed.
"This route belongs to Bailing Province, and the largest leader is the Hulan family." Ran Peng said from the side.
